<ogra_> elopio, look in syslog for DENIED messages too for your camera app bug that last message in your log looks a bit like either apparmor blocking you or the disk being full paste.ubuntu. com/7458617/ user-dirs. dirs exist on your system ? DIR="/home/ phablet/ Pictures"
<elopio> ogra_: yes, you are right, apparmor denied http://
<ogra_> that must be new then
<ogra_> jdstrand, ^^^
<ogra_> issues with the camera-app
<jdstrand> oh, the camera-app is confined now?
<ogra_> it shoulldnt i think
<ogra_> but can apps become confined by accident ?
<jdstrand> no
<jdstrand> not unless it said, "hey, I want to be confined"
<jdstrand> fyi, the camera app could be special and simply use the 'picture_files' policy group
<jdstrand> note, that the denial is for creating the ~/Pictures directory
<jdstrand> the picture_files policy group doesn't allow creating the directory, only reading it (as well as reading/writing files under ~/Pictures)
<ogra_> still weird though
<jdstrand> so maybe it has been confined for a while but the ~/Pictures directory always existed but now it doesn't
<ogra_> rsalveti, you updated the camera-app twice the last week ... do you know if the click package was actually updated too ?
<ogra_> ah, not twice actually
<elopio> ogra_, jdstrand: I created the Pictures directory and now it works.
<ogra_> well, it should exist ... thats weird
<ogra_> does ~/.config/
<ogra_> (and contain Pictures)
<elopio> ogra_: yes. XDG_PICTURES_
<ogra_> hmm, weird
<elopio> my /home/phablet is empty.
<ogra_> sergiusens, does --wipe actually remove the dirs ?
<sergiusens> ogra_: --wipe just does a 'format data' in ubuntu_commands
<ogra_> i dont get how elopio could end up with an empty home then
<sergiusens> ogra_: elopio I had that after running autopilot sometimes
<ogra_> oh
<elopio> I will flash one more time.
<sergiusens> ogra_: camera and gallery haven't been click uploaded
<ogra_> sergiusens, right, well, the missign dir is the issue anyway ... but i guess we need to get the apps back in sync with the debs at some point
<rsalveti> ogra_: no, that was just packaging changes for the deb version
<ogra_> right
<elopio> ogra_, sergiusens: freshly installed, with ubuntu-device-flash --channel devel-proposed --wipe
<elopio> /home/phablet is empty.
<elopio> well, it has the hidden dirs.
